Improving the feedly navigation
We are brainstorming with the team about how the feedly navigation could be improved.
Problem #1
Today going to the top 3-4 categories seems OK but reaching other categories and subscriptions seems to be painful.
Problem #2
Navigation elements are mixed with other modules on the right sidebar and there are big content switches as you move from one place to another.
The challenge is to make navigability as good as the more email centric RSS reader while keeping the magazine look and feel. We also want to further clean up our grid system and make sure that all the pages use a consistent grid.
We will be posting screenshots as we explore options. Please let us know if you have suggestions and we will do our best to integrate them in.

Inappropriate?manolova64: @feedly All in navigation is perfect. Only I need organize "annotateds" and/or "saves for later" (tags?, folders?, lists?).
-
Inappropriate?catuslee: @feedly how about these: (1) the option of auto refresh very x minutes; (2) checkbox for each feed whether to appear in the digest
-
Inappropriate?botgirlq: @feedly I'd like to option to limit feeds to more recent time frame like last 30 min. Also real time stream would be nice.

Inappropriate?Hope you don't think this OT:
I'm looking at this from more than just pure hierarchical navigation:
I'd like to see increased relevancy of the stories presented to me at the top of the magazine, from a mix of categories.
In fact the very thing I love about feedly is that I don't need to navigate hierarchically, I want a magazine like experience, not "bookmarked" categorized stories. Surprise me, but surprise me with relevance!
One thought I had to create such "relevancy" is to use a concept like Microplaza does: Introduce a link to twitter data!
Microplaza offers twitter flyout tabbed search for topics and links the people I'm following have created. Microplaza is creating relevancy in the way they prioritize the content shown to me, based on twitter, and this allows me to build a custom relevancy profile. I'm even able to emulate "being someone else"
I think a combo of Feedly with integrated twitter data for ranking "buzz" and "hotness" of stories would be AWESOME.
If you haven't checked out Microplaza, its by invite at the moment, but follow @microplaza on twitter to get some. PS I'm in no way affiliated, just signed up as an alpha tester this week

I’m loving feedly and am glad you are still looking to improve even further!

Inappropriate?Juergen. Thanks for the feedback. I think that you are right on. We are working on integrating elements of both Twitter and Google Reader Friends in feedly. Let's do that first and once we have all the pieces in place, we can explore ways to simplify the navigation/remove potential clutter. Between now and then let's keep that thread open so that other people can jump in.

Inappropriate?I agree that some of my "non-favorites" are getting lost, if there was a multi-level grading system that would be good.
Mostly I would like to say that I would NOT like lines between the articles.
The date or the header is good for me and keeps that clean attractive look I love about feedly.
Maybe it could be a choice in preferences?
I’m confident

Inappropriate?Note: we pushed out as part of 1.2.200 a new side area module called featured. See here for more information:
